Beauty In Its Simplicity

Photo courtesy of Paul
I've known Renna from many years ago, back to the days when both of us are still students.

Along with few other friends, we were always cramped into 22B on the weekends, doing a lot of foolish crazy things. We shared many memories of trips with the late Dr.Jugah and his family.

Oohh those were the days.

And then, life happens and most of us parted ways. Usually meeting up again during weddings.

Renna and I were the kind of friends who don't talk on a regular basis but when we do, we just pick up where we left off. Of course, as she is friends with my family, she is also a family friend.

God sometimes always works in a mysterious way.

Who would have thought that many years down the road from when we were just measly students, Renna would marry my brother's good friend? 

The story started when my brother asked his friend/colleague, Corbin to tag along for a lunch meet up with Renna, and then they say, the rest is history.

I'm truly honoured and happy when Renna invited me to her wedding, to share in this celebration.

Everything about the wedding is just so Renna. 

There is so much beauty in its simplicity, just like her. From all the years I've known her, she is someone very practical, very simple and classy. 

Nothing brassy, nothing extravagant, nothing noisy, nothing over the top.

But you know what is the most beautiful thing about the wedding? (well at least to me lah).

It was the speech from the father of the bride. It was the most heartfelt wedding speech I've ever heard, so full of love and support for his daughter and new son-in-law.

It started with 

"En. Corbin adalah lelaki yang sangat sangat jahat!" 

Erk okay.. I was like what kind of statement is that kan.

"Sangat jahat kerana telah mencuri hati anak kesayangan saya" Awwww...

"2 kali dia minta kebenaran. Berani betul dia. Kali pertama, dia mintak kebenaran dari kakak Renna untuk berkawan dengan Renna. Kali kedua, dia datang Mukah untuk mintak kebenaran saya, untuk naik level. Honestly, very honest, this En. Corbin is so much better than me when I was at his age."

You gotta admit, that guy really has guts, manners, and respect to do what he did, of asking the girl's family permission to date and marry their daughter/sister.

That really is an honourable and respectful thing to do.

And then her father said 

"En.Corbin, welcome to the family. We as parents, will not hinder your ambition (both of them wanted to pursue their studies). We will support both of you"

Beautiful isn't it?

Congratulations again to Renna and Corbin. May God bless your wonderful journey and be there every step of the way.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

Indah Khabar Dari Rupa

"I suka tengok IG si anu anu ni. Selalu share parenting tips. Macam family goal." ujar bawang merah sambil dia scroll instagram sorang public figure Malaysia. "Hah!? Siapa? Si anu tuh? huh!!!! I ban mamat tuh!" sampuk si bawang putih.  Kemudian beberapa bebawang kat situ pun mengiyakan statement maut bawang putih. "Ye ye! I pun ban dia tu! So arrogant. Sombong!" ujar si bawang goreng. Kebanyakkan bawang-bawang ni pernah kerja dalam outlet yang sering dikunjungi oleh si  public figure ni  dan sudah tentu pernah  berhadapan dengan dia.     Semua berkongsi pengalaman yang sama, bahawasanya di public, si figure ni sering bermuka masam dan sombong. Tak pernah nak friendly. Mungkin dia ingat sales staff tak setaraf dengan dia. Bawang putih pulak menyambung "Hipokrit betul. Dalam IG dok share-share parenting tips bagai, tapi realiti 2 orang anak dia tu macam anak setan!" wahh marah betul bawang putih. Nak dijadikan cerita, anak-anak...

The Beautiful Malacca

St Paul's Church Malacca is probably my third favourite city. My first time visiting this amazing place was when i was 14 for a youth camp and has been visiting Malacca for countless times now. Day trips with friends or families,countless programs and courses over the years. It's probably that few coins i threw into the old well or an empty tomb on St Paul's Hill. Oh you know what they say about throwing coins and you'll come visit that place again someday. I love the old historical buildings, The Stadhuys, the architecture and colours of the building.  I love the food, the vibrancy of the town.  So the other day, my mum and younger sis was in town and we drove down to Malacca for a day trip.  14 years ago, those tall buildings were not there. It's kinda sad that a historical place like this is surrounded by modern malls and hotels. All in the name of progress i guess. The girl who thinks she is a professional dancer... R...
